Appropedia:Unclear copyright status

For now, this should be considered an essay by one or more Appropedians, and not as a policy or guideline.

It has often occurred that the copyright status of content on Appropedia, especially images, unclear. This means it has been uploaded without attribution, and without the claim of ownership. Unfortunately, these must be clarified or removed.

For images this means the same as above, or any other license which does not restrict commercial use or modifications.

For image files:

If you own the copyright and you release it under Appropedia's license, please edit this page to make that clear.

If the license is compatible, please edit the page to state the source and the license.

If the source is unknown, look for it with a reverse image search such as TinEye. Paste in the direct link to the image on Appropedia,[2] and find a source of the image. Confirm whether the image itself is confirmed open licensed (as opposed to, say, being reposted on a blog which happens to use a Creative Commons mark.
